I sent a book to Polar - Bear, History of a Fallen King - which tell's of the fierce and savage European brown bear before the Emperor Constantine and the Church declared war against the bear; which lasted for about 1,000 years. Like the historic grizzly predating the repeater rifle, and even more so, the European brown bear of today is but a shadow of his ancestors. These bears are basically vegetarians and honey-eaters. They will feed on a carcass, but probably haven't hunted and killed a wild boar since Robin Hood was robbing the rich. 
The Russian grizzly, which is the Amur brown bear or Ussuri brown bear ( Ursus arctos lasiotus ) do indeed hunt and kill wild boar; and those are the biggest wild boars on earth.
